Point and see

Outdoor activities like walking or playing in the park is a great opportunity to engage with your toddler and help them become familiar with their surroundings by talking about it. This can also assist them in acquiring new vocabulary and language skills.

Here are some helpful tips:

• As you go, point out things and let your baby know what they are in the target language. Make sure they repeat after you.
• Make sure to get their attention as you point. Say the word when they are paying attention.
• Encourage your baby to also point at things they are interested in along the way.
• Introduce describing words like colours and size.
• You can do this wherever you go: walking down the street, at the shop, or in the park.

By describing things in the target language, your baby can expand their vocabulary and become more fluent. Additionally, this practice can help your baby develop their concentration skills and become more observant of their environment.
